THIS WEEK ON WORLD OF RADIO Extra 34: see topic summary at
http://www.angelfire.com/ok/worldofradio/worx34.html

WORLD OF RADIO AND CONTINENT OF MEDIA
SHORTWAVE-ONLY SCHEDULE AS OF JULY 26, 2000

Days and times strictly UT. RFPI announced July 17 that 6970 would be
off the air up to three weeks for repairs and maintenance, but that
15049 would be on the air 24 hours. This schedule reflects that
temporary situation. But July 18, USB returned on 21815, nominally
1200-0400! When 6970 return, it will presumably operate 0000-0800
(weekends -1200) as before, and 15049 cease 24 hour operation.

*This change continues to be pending, and could occur at any time.

** ANGOLA [non]. Glenn, Sadly I have to inform you that the Radio
Ecclésia transmissions via Radio Netherlands have stopped as of
today. Due to technical problems in Angola, which are beyond the
control of Radio Netherlands, the station has been unable to feed
audio to us for the past few days. A previously-supplied standby
programme has been transmitted on shortwave instead. Since the
technical expert who helped to set up the audio feed is no longer in
Angola, the decision has been taken to suspend the shortwave
broadcasts until further notice. Everyone here at Radio Netherlands
is disappointed that the broadcasts cannot continue. Radio Ecclésia
continues to be audible on the Internet, but the programme that was
being transmitted on shortwave was specially produced, and is not
available to us by any other means. (Andy Sennitt, Radio Netherlands,
July 26, DX LISTENING DIGEST) So we may not see more logs like this:

On 15175 via Holland, R. Ecclésia, July 23, 1931-1938, Portuguese,
``congresso que hoje termina?insuficiência de alimentos,`` news,
reports from correspondents, then headlines again, ID ``a radio para
todos`` by woman, then talks about UNITA, correspondents, SINPO=24322
(Elmer Escoto, Honduras, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. First-hand news of a station reactivated: 5013 at 0200, R.
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, ID: ``Radio Copacabana e emissoras da
cadeia da Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus, atenção para o top de 5
segundos!`` Then broadcast the program 'Falando de fe'; At 0205 began
the program 'A Palavra Amiga do Bispo Macedo'. Listened to the
station more than 40 minutes before getting an ID. This transmitter
has a problem like R. Nacional del Paraguay had a while back [what?].
SINPO 54434 (Célio Romais, Pôrto Alegre, Brasil, July 25, Associado
do DX Clube do Brasil, translated by gh for DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. R. Nova Visão audible most nights on 11735, //9530 in
Portuguese at 2400, with religion and music, mostly music. Relays
Rádio Transmundial at this time. In early April they listed the above
frequencies plus 5965 (also listed in Passport) but on 26 July UTC I
could only hear Radio Havana under QRM (Liz Cameron, Michigan Area
Radio Enthusiasts, Detroit, MI, DX-440, 90' longwire, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) http://www.geocities.com/alera1/

** BRAZIL/ROMANIA. I reveived an important note today from the
Brazilian ambassador in Romania, Jerónimo Moscardo, who is also a
radio listener and member of the Brazilian Radio Listening Committee.
It says the Brazilian and Romanian governments signed an agreement
this morning in Brasília, for technical and programming cooperation
between Radiobrás and RRI. Radiobrás plans to increase the number of
hours and languages broadcast on SW to Europe [from zero to what? -
gh], and RRI plans to maintain its services in Spanish and Portuguese
to Latin America. Starting next January, professionals at both
stations are to undertake training at the other (Denis Zoqbi, July
25, radio-escutas, translated by gh for DX LISTENIGN DIGEST)

** CHINA/AUSTRALIA. Zhejiang radio programme beamed by Radio
Australia | Text of report in English by official Chinese news agency
Xinhua (New China News Agency) Hangzhou, 25th July:

A Chinese broadcasting station has started to provide programmes for
Radio Australia. The programmes by Zhejiang Broadcasting Station,
known as "Zhejiang Today", are targeted at Chinese citizens and
people of Chinese origin in southeast and north Asia. This is the
first time a Chinese provincial-level broadcast station has offered
programmes for Radio Australia. The programmes are scheduled to be
beamed by Radio Australia once a month, on Sundays. The programmes
were launched in early July. "Zhejiang Today" includes news,
backgrounders and reports about common people's daily life, lasting
15 minutes every time. The programmes will introduce the changes that
have taken place in Zhejiang, hometown of tens of thousands of people
of Chinese origin. The programmes will also introduce Zhejiang's
history, culture, custom, ecology, population, industry, investment,
environment and foreign-invested enterprises. Earlier, Zhejiang
Broadcasting Station opened news programmes in the United States,
Japan and Canada. Source: Xinhua news agency, Beijing, in English
0839 gmt 25 Jul 00 (via BBC Monitoring via DXLD) Why doesn`t Xinhua
give the exact dates, times and frequencies to hear it??? (gh)

** INTERNATIONAL. Marathon Bach broadcast
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/gam/Music/20000725/TAPEOP-2.html

Sources: Wire services Tuesday, July 25, 2000

A 24-hour television marathon will be broadcast around the world
Friday to mark the 250th anniversary of the death of Johann Sebastian
Bach, the European Broadcasting Union said yesterday.

About 400 musicians -- including six orchestras, seven ensembles,
three choirs, and 40 soloists -- will participate in the 24 Hours of
Bach, to be broadcast by the Eurovision network and its partners, the
EBU said.

The EBU said it expected 100 million viewers in 40 countries to tune
in. Fifteen EBU members in Europe will transmit parts of the
marathon, as will Eurovision partners including NHK in Japan and PBS
in the United States. It will be shown in its entirety in France,
Switzerland and Denmark, the EBU said.

Several concerts to commemorate the composer's death will be
broadcast live, including a performance of his Mass in B-minor in the
Thomaskirche in Leipzig, Germany.

It was in Leipzig that Bach spent most of his working years, from
1723. He died there at the age of 65 (via John Norfolk, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

Look for more Bach specials, around July 28. WUOT has ``In the
Footsteps of Bach`` starting at 1400 UT (gh, DXLD)

** KURDISTAN. IRAQ V of Iraqi Kurdistan I heard on new 7135 1608-1933*.
At the beginning were the programs in Kurdish, from 1800- in Arabic.
The morning programss on 7135 noted from 0235, sometimes later (Robert
Petraitis, Lithuania, July 7, BC-DX via DXLD)

** LIBYA. V. of Africa noted on new 17725 (x15435) with Ar progr at
1025. The nx in English and in French I monitored at this time: 0130-
0145, 1145-1200, 1730-1745, 2030-2045. First half of this 15 min for
En, than follows Fr. The nx in Ar are bcing until nx in foreign langs,
so if the stn has more information all nx last longer. The beginning of
nx in En/Fr have late about 2-8 mins in that case (Robert Petraitis,
Lithuania, July 13/20, BC-DX via DXLD)

** NEWFOUNDLAND. On Friday, July 28th, Viking celebrations in
Newfoundland and Labrador will come to a head as thousands of people
gather to witness the arrival of the Viking longboat Islendingur at
the harbour in L'anse Aux Meadows.

The Islendingur is an authentic replica of a Viking vessel. It's
spent the last month travelling the same northern route the original
explorers would have sailed to the New World a thousand years ago.

CBC Radio will be in L'Anse Aux Meadows for the days leading up to
the arrival ceremony. Jim Brown and Chris Norman will co-host our
live Provincial Morning Show from Wednesday, July 26 to Friday, July
28th.

We`ll have the complete story of the Viking discovery, the historic
site and the modern-day people who are living the Viking life at the
Norstead Encampment.

We`ll also capture the excitement as this small community prepares to
welcome a crowd that's estimated to grow as large as 10,000 people.

We'll also tell the whole country about the event as we broadcast the
arrival ceremony live to the CBC Radio Network. That starts at 2:30
Friday afternoon (NF time), July 28. [1700 UT plus hourly delays
across the timezones; really 1705 after the news??]

So join us for complete coverage of the event of the Millennium, here
on CBC Radio 1.

[Morning shows: 6-9:30 am NDT (4 different versions), 0830-1200 UT]

** PAPUA NEW GUINEA. R. Central, long inactive, has been reactivated,
heard on 3290 July 26 at *1900 in English, with ID, then //4890
(Chris Hambly, Victoria, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERÚ. Hi all ppl. As some of you might know by now, the opposition
parties in Perú are organizing a parade called "The 4 Suyos Parade"
(La Marcha de los 4 Suyos) to protest against the Fujimori takeover
ceremony. It's a 4-day-parade that will start on July 26th, just two
days before the independence day (July 28th). As I was buying some
donuts, I checked into the Caretas magazine and found out that a
network has been set up to broadcast a program named "The Suyos
decide the history" (Los Suyos deciden la historia). This px is
announced to be broadcast since last week daily at 2 pm local time
(1900 UT). The ad included the network members' names and
frequencies. Following are the SW frequencies:
Radio Santa Rosa 6045
Radio La Voz de la Selva (Loreto) 4825
Radio Sicuani (Sicuani - Cuzco) 4835
Radio Amauta (Huanta - Ayacucho) 4955
Radio Naylamp (Lambayeque) 4298?? (This frequency wasn't quite clear
since the ad said 429.8OC, so I assume it was mistaken and it's
actually 4298).
Radio Madre de Dios (Madre de Dios) 4850
By the way, also the 4 Suyos program can also be heard through the
internet at this URL:
http://www.peruposible.org/radioweb/index_radio.html Perú Posible is
one of the member parties of the political opposition, and the radio
is part of its web site. I know maybe some of the outlets might be
out of service, but it's worth the check. Expect extended coverage of
these radio stations specially on July 28th (the Fujimori takeover).
BTW, I won`t be able to check out these frequencies since I`ll take
part on the parade. Saludos desde Perú, (Moisés Corilloclla, July 26,
harc-core-dx via DXLD)

Moisés: Thank you for this interesting info. Access to the frequency
list is, however, slightly different than the url you mentioned:
http://www.peruposible.org.pe/radioweb/index_radio.html This page
opened, please click on "Las emisoras". 73, (Henrik Klemetz, July 26,
hard-core-dx via DXLD)

An interesting note here is that most of the stations are religious.
Of the stations in Moisés` list, four are Catholic run (Santa Rosa,
LV Selva, Sicuani, and Madre de Dios) and Radio Amauta is Evangelical
(Baptist, as I recall). Several of the other stations mentioned on
the website as mentioned in Henrik Klemetz's post (e.g. Radio Marañón
in Jaen) are also Catholic. A religious affiliation (especially with
the Catholic Church) usually makes stations safer from official
reprisals. Perhaps some other Catholic stations will decide to carry
this as well. Others that come to mind are Radio Horizonte 5010 and
Radio Quillabamba 5025 (Don Moore, IA, July 26, hard-core-dx via
DXLD)

** PERÚ. > Also I have been trying to figure out what ``Pbro.`` in
the address abbreviates. ``Polítburo`` is all that comes to mind and
that seems a tad unlikely (gh)

It means "Presbítero" (accent on the i), i.e. the title of priest,
e.g. "Pbro. Fulano de Tal."

You may remember me (vaguely) from 22 to 11 years ago. I have been
attending to other stuff in life, but one of these days I hope to get
back into the swing of things, DX-wise... I am thrilled that you are
still taking care of business for the airwaves! Cheers, (Richard
Stoller, State College, PA, July 24, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PHILIPPINES. V. of Philippines heard on 11720 until 1930* July 26
(Chris Hambly, Victoria, DX LISTENING DIGEST) *1730-?

** RUSSIA. Some clues suggests that after the shut down of Radio
Rossii on longwave 261 and 2 x 250 kW shortwave the Taldom site,
situated about 100 km north from Moscow, is completely off air at
present for whatever reason. Nick Pashkevich reports that the 153
channel from Taldom is also silent since a couple of days. Regarding
shortwave some "Moscow" outlets are currently operated from St.
Petersburg - Popovka instead, namely 1200-1300 17570, 1900-2100 12060
and 2200-2300 9880. 17570 is VoR Vietnamese, Mikhail Timofeyev
pointed out that it is the first transmission from Popovka into this
area for many years. 12060 is Voice of the Mediterranean and finally
9880 CRI English. 9880 is known as originating from Taldom; I guess
it shared the transmitter with 12060 and 17570 (Kai Ludwig, Germany,
July 24, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ST. HELENA [non]. Dear Tony, I would be extremely interested to
know the current whereabouts of your station and do you have any
plans to broadcast as usually done in October... this year? Best
Regards, (Baiju Prabhakar, Dubai, July 18 to Tony Leo)

No more SW-bcast, sorry! (John Ekwall, July 24, reply to Baiju and
via him, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOMALIA. Radio Mogadishu, Voice of the People of the Somali
Republic (Somali: Raadiyo Muqdisho, idaacada codka shacabka ee
jamhuuriyadda Soomaaliya) was first heard on 19th July 1993. It
broadcasts in support of the Somali National Alliance (SNA), lead by
Husayn Muhammad Aydid, who succeeded his father Gen Muhammad Farah
Aydid after his death in August 1996.

Two other stations have also identified themselves as Radio
Mogadishu:

Mahdi) -  currently inactive
          2) Radio Mogadishu, Voice of Somali Pacification (pro
Uthman Ato) - current status not known.
          (On 1st May 2000, the Somali newspaper 'Ayaamaha' reported
that Radio Mogadishu Voice of the People of the Somali Republic and
Radio Mogadishu Voice of Somali Pacification were holding talks with
a view to merging.)

** U S A. * THE DUST BOWL, FRIDAY 7/28: This Friday afternoon, tune
in during "All Things Considered" to hear "Voices from the Dust
Bowl," the latest installment of NPR`s "Lost and Found Sound." The
episode is narrated by Charles Todd, hired by the Library of Congress
to record interviews with farm workers who had traveled to California
in the 1930s. Originally from Oklahoma and Arkansas, these farm
workers migrated westward in search of a better life. Songs, poems,
camp council meetings, square dances, and storytelling are included
in this recording. Workers also tell Todd why they left their homes,
about conditions along the way, and about life in the government
camps. (KOSU Newsletter) L&FS normally occupies some or all of the
segment 2035-2100 UT Fridays, but not every week, repeated 2-hourly
(gh, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Here is some information I just got on this. A damn shame,
considering the age of this station. (Michael C. McCarty, OH, DXLD)

QUESTION?  Are you folks folding up as of August 1st?  Please tell
me this is not true. This info is posted on an Old Time Radio
newsgroup (McCarty to WMAQ via DXLD)

thanks very much for your note. i hope this e-mail helps to answer
your questions. here's the deal: when viacom bought infinity/cbs, it
became necessary for the company to divest itself of a chicago
frequency. the company decided to sell the lower powered 1160
frequency and move wscr radio to 670 am. The old format and call
letters of wmaq will be retired.

the decision is recent enough that some specific decisions have
yet to be made. these include both personnel decisions and
programming plans. We don't, for example, have a decision yet on
"when radio was". please stay tuned. i can tell you that pat cassidy
will be a morning anchor along with felicia middlebrooks on 780 am.
i can also tell you the last day of wmaq programming-- monday, july
31-- will be filled with tributes to the history of that storied
radio station (tom laporte, WBBM webmaster, July 25, reply to
McCarty, via DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. The Gods of Arbitron have opened their search page that
lists progams, slogans, and personality names submitted to them for
ratings credit. Enter the calls and am or fm, and if the station is
half way with it, an updated list will be yours. It could help ID a
program name, slogan, or jock.

** U S A. Here`s something else that could be an identification aid,
i.a.: Archived TV News Theme Music

"What would a local news broadcast be without its rousing Action
News! theme song" July 23's (Sun.) Weekend All Things Considered  had
this interesting segment (there was radio reference too).

"TV News Themes -- What would a local news broadcast be without its
rousing Action News! theme song? Host David Wright speaks with
24-year-old Byron Graziano of New York City, who collects local news
themes for his web site, the TV News Music Museum.

** U S A. Glenn, have you talked to Frantz about the use of 9580 and
3270 for tx#3? This is a disaster. 9580 has been in use by RA for NA
directly or defacto since radio was invented. Namibia will probably
lose because of the tropical band assignment, unless Frantz comes to
his senses (Tom Sundstrom, NJ)

I E-mailed him about Australia as given in previous issue. As for
3270, WGTG used that before, and I seem to recall that even Namibia
could not be persuaded to object because of the distance, etc. (Glenn
Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Well, Namibia is a nice show on the east coast in all but the summer,
but the signal is admittedly weak at best most of the time. I just
don't remember if he was on 3270 before; I'd have to dig out the
WRTHs. BTW you should have heard him ranting about PCs and porn being
put on your PC without knowledge... obviously he never heard about
firewalls and something called Cookie Pal (all of $20) that allows
complete control (Tom Sundstrom, NJ, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

In the dark recesses of my brain, I seem to recall that this has
happened once before. I think it was something to do with special
programming for the Gulf Cooperation Council. I'll try to take a
listen tomorrow (Andy Sennitt, July 24, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Yes, several stations in countries members of the GCC take turns
originating special progamming relayed by all the others. Maybe there
is an Arabic website somewhere with all the details? (gh, DXLD)

Sorry for the delay in checking and replying, my ISP has been having
problems the last few days. I checked this the other night and there
was an Arabic speaking station that signed off at 1100 with a
national anthem (presumed) but at very low level. Too weak to make
out anything said, though I have the anthem on tape and will try and
match it to something. Tonight the signal is strong at 1007 UT, but
it sounds like German or Dutch - definitely not Arabic and not in
parallel to 11980. Be interesting to see if it holds up to 1100 at
this strength, when I will be able to either make out an ID or drop
it onto the computer (Richard (80km north of Sydney, Australia) Jary,

Maybe special SUNDAY relay transmissions of R Aden on those days ?,
despite Harald Kuhl told us, that only R Cairo-EGY program were heard
at this time span (Wolfgang Büschel, BC-DX via DXLD)        ###
